Just did some more test shooting with the Letus Extreme. I cleaned the entire adapter and checked everything via the SDI output on a HD broadcast monitor just to be safe. Shooting with the adapter is harder then I thought, there is a lot to take into account. If you close the aperture on the front lens too much you see the ground glass and if you use an ND your focus changes etc. On my last shots during the day I later found out that some dust had settled on the ground glass. I didn’t see this on the camera lcd so I am thinking of buying a ref portable, probably a Nebtek. Should it be an SDI or component monitor? Oh, and tell me how you like the footage.

Great stuff. Love your site. What monitor do you use? I’m looking at the Carrion B for an SDI link to my EX1 & Letus. What do you recommend? Cheers.

I am looking to get exactly that monitor, the only thing holding me back is the size. But then again the resolution is great. I say get it.
